Overview

UNICEF Bangladesh in partnership with UNDP and in collaboration with Sylhet City Cooperation have commissioned the two-year ‘Multi-Sector Integrated Programme for Improved Nutrition’ targeting pregnant women and children under two years of age in urban slums of the Sylhet City Corporation (SCC), Bangladesh. The programme consists of interventions in nutrition-specific service, nutrition-sensitive WASH intervention, social protection and nutrition-sensitive primary health care. The Center for Evaluation and Development (C4ED) was contracted to design a rigorous impact evaluation, collect and analyse baseline and endline data, and conduct a process evaluation and cost-effectiveness analysis. The impact evaluation will present the causal impact of the ‘Multi-Sector delivered nutrition specific and nutrition sensitive interventions targeting to improve child nutrition. The process evaluation will allow the researchers to clearly articulate “intervention activities, how they are implemented, and how they are expected to be linked with the immediate, intermediate, and final outcomes” (Avula et al., 2013). The cost-effectiveness analysis will help to understand the incremental costs and incremental effects of the programme. For the data collections and contextualization of findings and tools, C4ED has partnered with the BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health, BRAC University.
